Also in Churchmans that day. There was a sense of occasion about the day… even if there was only 15k there! Sure we were a story on the ITN news that night. |  |

And the main story on Ceefax page 302! That was the holy grail. |  |

Yep North Stand for me too, even my dad went along (Churchmans - so he got to see the goal more clearly), top game, complete mud bath and pretty much the apogee of his career with us alas. I went along to that farewell gathering they had for him (got him to sign my Stoke programme, seemed a lovely fellow) when I think they were showing a Euro or WC game with Russia - how times have changed indeed. Still have my hammer and sickle Ipswich hat though! |  | |  |
